The Chemist in Me

When I saw this stamp on Saturated Canary I knew it was meant for me.  I worked in a laboratory for over 30 years.  It was fun to color with Copic Markers, I even discovered one named "Acid." This color was perfect for the fumes exiting the Erlenmeyer Flask.  I am thinking of coloring an 8 X 10 to frame and hang in my craft room.

On Line Card Class: Clean and Simple 3

Day 2:  More Faux Techniques

Another technique presented was faux layered die cuts.  This was an intriguing design concept that took a couple of tries before I created a card I liked.  It pays to follow directions, I ruined the first card because I didn't splash the dye on the card stock before starting to assemble the card.  After another try or two I read the directions one step at a time and did it exactly as written.  The card below is my finished card.  I am sure I will be using this design tool frequently, I love how it turned out.  

Day One Faux Layered Die Cuts

Day two of the class consisted of more examples of faux designs.  I like the new format of the class, first day teaching the techniques and the second a follow up day with more examples.  I am learning so much and hope to share more with you as the next couple of weeks go by.

On Line Card Class: Clean and Simple 3

I am taking another On-Line Card Class; this one is Clean and Simple 3.  I am enjoying learning new techniques to use on my cards.  Most of the cards are for Operation Write Home so our troops can write home to their family and friends.  Todays class used faux techniques to create embellishments that look like metal medallions.  It adds a certain "class" to the card with a bit of dimension.   The two large hearts with hearts in the middle are copper embossed and then stamped with a heart outline stamp.  You can see the "metal" better in person than in the picture.
